“Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust. Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others. It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed by the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by many. Therefore in a just society the liberties of equal citizenship are taken as settled; the rights secured by justice are not subject to political bargaining or to the calculus of social interests.”
(John Rawls, “A Theory of Justice”)

'I’m just here to try and get peace, I don’t care so much about anything other than I want to stop having millions of people killed.'
(Donald Trump, 12th February, 2025, shortly after arranging the negotiations with Vladimir Putin that will bring about an end to the bloody conflict in the Ukraine.)
